. Being a redox inactive metal centre, a zinc catalyst usually works through sigma bond metathesis and insertion steps. This review also covers recent studies on zinc-catalyzed multielectron catalysis involving organic radicals. Lastly, the possibility of zinc-catalyzed asymmetric reactions with properly designed zinc complexes bearing chiral ligands is summarized.
